turns out this was actually due to our pre-commit hook script failing
and spitting out some strange output:

[Thu Oct 16 17:29:53 2008] @ߚ: Name "OpenSRS::OPENSRS_LOGOUT" used only
once: possible typo at @ߚ line 51.

Now, my question is:
Should this message be a little more clear, perhaps? If it said
something like 'pre-commit hook script exited non-zero, but we could not
parse the output, here's why', it would have been a lot easier to
troubleshoot this issue :)

thoughts?
